In this field, the protagonist “Tre” and his team have to save the world from the terrorists of the “Hawaiian Liberation Organization” by winning the game.

"Unimaginative action film in a science fiction guise, copying the successful predecessor (" Rollerball ") without aiming for its potential for violence."
